Tony (PINONVY),

I think the idea is for other to add to the rules of thumb and rate the ones that are there. I agree though, those are pretty worthless.

Thanks for the comment!

The Wine Rules of Thumb site is a joke; note the three Rules below from the site:

I couldn’t agree more. With the 50,000 cases, with the steak recipe, and the fact that Pinotblogger seems to be back in the house!

With regards to steak – when you (finally) come to visit Calaveras County I will cook you a steak on my Traeger – same effect done differently – cheers!

Oh yeah. Someone had the guts to say it. 50,000 cases and the bell curve starts comes into play on the old quality graph.

And I’ll tell you why . . . specialization. As the place gets bigger the dude or the dudette with the drive, vision and desire has to stop wearing all the hats and focus on growth or management or investor relations. Meanwhile, some medicocre hire is screwing up in the cellar and not telling anybody and 6 months later there’s a question about strange flavour and empty spots on the awards shelf. And paltry sales?

If you’re the wizard, keep the proteges and the tricks (labels) to a minimum and focus on your craft!

Thanks for the link. But mostly for the recipe. It’s in my regular rotation.
